What did you do to your subaru today?

Installed new kyb struts all around with H&R sports spring on my 02 wrx. Also washed and detailed the wife's forester.

 

Brought her in to my cousins shop to have both my rear wheel bearings replaced

 

Spring/Fall tires are on, winters are off.

 

More like "what a rock did to my Subaru at 65mph"...first time I've ever had to get a windshield replaced.

 

Detailed mine today!

 

Aluminum sport pedals installed

 

Finally getting my windows tinted 35% this weekend!!

 

Ordered swift sport springs for my 2012 forester to match my sway setup. I was quoted pretty high for an install and alignment. What have people seen for spring install costs? No I am not doing it myself so don't go there, thanks!

 

Usually $80-$120 per corner and then $80-$100 for alignment is what I have been quoted. Have you checked with Jeff the alignment guy?

 

I have not, I was hoping to figure something like that out. I just realized I bought the springs from MAP on eBay, I wonder what their install would cost.

 

http://alignmentguy.wordpress.com/ This is the man to talk to. If you don't mind me asking what were you quoted?

 

Wasn't at MAP but out the door 600.00 for install and alignment

 

Don't quote me, but I think when I talked to Jeff for my car it was going to be either $480-$560. I can quite remember.

 

I was trying to wait it out a couple more weeks before I put my summer wheels back on, but due to unforeseeable circumstances (aka: flat tire on the winter set on Wednesday), it was time to switch them out.

 

looking for a wrx hood that isn't $400+shipping+repaint

 

Picked up some Rotella T6



One more round of conventional before this goes in though...

 

^where do they sell cases of them at?

Installed HPS pads on and it feels much better, stops way shorter and quicker than before or ever since I've owned it

 

That's alot of lube in your trunk

 

Oil changed after winter storage. Ripped out the leaking steering rack. Now looking for an sti rack

 

Installed a wrx 20mm rear swaybar, tweaked some stereo wiring, installed an XWAY phone mount and "tested" the rear swaybar.

 

holy cow, in what year did the WRX come with a 20mm rear? I believe the current model has a 16mm rear...

 

Yesterday I fired up the STi for the first time in almost 6 months, probably change the oil tomorrow. gonna spend some time when the weather is nice cleaning things up. Picked up some rotors and pads from"Goalie" last summer, I guess I Should finally put them to use too.

The forester got an oil change as well as a swap back to "summer"(all season) wheels and tires.

02-03 WRX sedans got the 20mm rear swaybars

 

Installed some stoptech brake pads and put the roof rack on for the summer!

 

Just bought it an intercooler.

 

Got the windows tinted yesterday, today she is going to get a bath and a good cleaning in and out. I know guys recommend Flawless front end but it's too far of a drive for me, so anybody east of St. Paul, I recommend Sun Control for tint. Their Roseville shop will only do 50% but if you hop over to their Hudson Shop they will do 35%. I will post pics later once it sparkles, but they did a great job, it worked out that just up the road was the movie theater so me and the little man went and watched The Croods while they tinted the windows.

 

Me and the youngster changing the rear diff fluid. I was shocked at how much fun he had, until the wife got mad at me for letting him get dirty

 

She just got a interior bath and windows cleaned. Way better.

 

Drove my family around to various Easter activities today

 

And then put the leaky rack back in because race car can't have entire garage to itself

 

DIY Sandblasted the Prodrive P1 wheels I picked up from the forum here a few months back.

Put the summer shoes on - during which I found that one had a flat (brad nail between tread blocks) and that the boot had slipped off the outer CV on the axle that was brand new last July.


Also put my new Proto AP holder on my existing ProClip mount. No more Velcro!

 

installed my new rims/tires yesterday, also pulled out the motor and 5 speed out of my parts car

 

Put some yellow on my Hellas in preparations for them getting transferred into my RS bumper

 

looks good tom

 

Determined that the wife's Legacy is developing the typical 60k mile heat shield buzz.

 

Took my front end off cleaned it up, Blacked out the foglight housings (looks much better IMO). Also pulled the headlights baked them and sprayed the interiors all black .

 

Put on my summer wheels.

Enkei RPF1 17x9" +35 Wheels
Federal 595 RSR 255/40R17 Tires

 

Yesterday did the front rotors and pads (DBA 4000s) and today installed rear rotors and pads along with a cat-back exhaust (Agency Power).

A good day.

 

Fresh super blue,Extra s,rear diff fluid. And new tires. All ready for next week.

 

Got most of the way through the Double Din install in my legacy.


Still gotta finish and test the reverse camera, satellite radio, and e-brake lockout override.

 

She RUMBLES!! Put my cat back on today. Fit ok but need to extend hangers. Still a tad bit close to bumper trim. Simple fix
